Glenn Kaino’s work carefully balances formal and conceptual concerns as the artist combines an often unexpected hybrid of materials in order to best communicate an idea, history, or system that might be less effective with traditional art media. For his FOCUS exhibition, Kaino has created a new body of work with the overarching themes of time and space colonization. The presentation includes pin drawings, an animatronic installation that responds to viewers, and a frozen sculptural portrait of the moon.

The Modern is hosting a benefit auction of deaccessioned artwork from the vault. The more than 200 items purchased by or donated to the Museum no longer fall within the parameters of the Modern’s collection as determined through extensive review by curatorial staff and with approval by the Board of Directors. The auction includes a variety of art and artifacts such as works on paper, paintings, and sculpture. Estimates for artworks range from $150 to $5,000.
